all that you have said, plus wd-40, pb blaster, dot 3 brake fluid, and vinegar(acetic acid).
IF you want to get it loose in a hurry, combien all the ingredients in a squirt bottle, like a plastic mustard bottle or something, and put it in teh microwave for a bit, or combien all ingredients, then put on a hot pad outside in the yard until it is as hot as you can get it with bursting into flames. next, drain teh rad and fill it with boiling water, and let the block sit. even better, and what I do, is to top off the rad, then put a torpedo heater near teh engien block, with twice as much engine oil in it as needed. heat up the block until you can't touch it. heat it soem more, until the coolant all gets boiling hot and engine oil is like fryer grease. dump the mixture into the cylinders, and anything left over, dump in the oil pan. leave teh torpedo heater on and let it set for as long as it takes to get everything warm. Thsi will give you the best chance of breaking the rings loose from teh piston grooves and cylinder walls. a lot of stuck engines are actually stuck on the main and rod bearings, not piston rings. So you want to introduce oil to those areas. It is also good to pull the distributor and turn teh oil pump with a drill. if the oil pump runs off the camshaft, and you can't do that, then seriously consider just topping the whole thing off to the carb with penetrating oil and let it sit. heat is your best friend, though. Get it hot hot hot, and that will make it break easier. aside from what I have mentioned, the only thing else to do is to pull the oil pan, loosent he rods and mains and then turn it over by hand to get the orange crust off.

If you agreed with the subtitle, you are rather mistaken. Quite, actually. As a matter of fact, some of the technology experimented with over 40 years ago makes today's tractor technology seem absolutely stale by comparison. Experimentation, from the most complex assembly to the most simple and mundane component, is as an integral a part of any farm tractor's development
